quickstart sql issues

I had to do some manual editing to /installation/sql/mysql/joomla.sql, and /installation/sql/mysql/sample_data.sql in order for the installer to finish.

1) I have MySQL v5.1 which does not support utf8mb4, so I had to do a little work there, but that is really my fault, for not having a newer version of MySQL.

2) both joomla.sql and sample_data.sql appear to be using "uml12__" as a prefix, so no matter what "prefix" you specify to the installer, the tables are created using "umsl12__".
I guess that is OK, it should still work.
However, that is not the case. All attempts to use the .sql files "as-is", (plus my utf8mb4 fix) result in an error message saying "no such table `#__assets`".

So, in those two files, I replaced all occurrences of "umsl12__" with "#__", and that corrected the issue, the installer ran normally afterward. A pretty easy fix, once I got my brain in gear.

*Note, that is is a much better idea to import/re-export the dump, on a more recent MySQL server, than to search-replace text for utf8mb4 if the dump contains any characters that use that 4th byte.

Superior looking template once installed.

Hi

I've just checked installation package and there is no "umsl12_" in it anymore. Please try download it one more time and just rename "utf8mb4" to "utf8" in joomla.sql file.
